This is cool. I read all of the Claremont stuff from the Essential phonebook trades but once I hit the 90s, I bought a lot of the trades on this list with the single issues filling in gaps. I'm curious to see if the Epic collections delve into the 90s as the most recent X-men Epic stopped at the same place the Essentials did (Uncanny #280 and X-men V2 #3). I guess the titles become to interconnected and it was easier to to the trades they listed on this website but I hope they still get the Epic Collection treatment somehow.

Yeah I get that, but all of the other long running books look like the Epics run up to Onslaught so it seems weird to end X-men at a much earlier point.

Given the inter connectivity of Uncanny and X-men Vol2 I wonder if they will keep them as one Epic series. Also I wonder how the Epics will handle the cross-overs that involve all of the books like X-Cutioners song. Will there be separate volumes of X-men, X-force and X-Factor that have a majority of the same content when they get to that point or will they do one X-Cutioner's song Epic collection that acts for all series involved?
